0:05.4 | But when it comes to risk management, though, parameters are difficult not to apply, you know, |
0:11.5 | how much should I risk, et cetera, et cetera. |
0:13.5 | And obviously, people usually come to these conclusions based on research and so on and so forth. How do you just sort of broadly |
0:24.3 | frame that in terms of just the parameter side of things, not exactly the risk management. |
0:30.9 | We'll talk about that a little bit later. Well, yeah, but risk management is pretty much |
0:35.0 | common sense. And everybody's risk management is the same. Anybody who's, you know, but risk management is pretty much common sense. And everybody's risk management is the same. |
